Electrician Hands-On Training
Wire Types & Sizes
Wire is the backbone of every electrical system. If you don’t understand wire types and wire sizes, you can’t do the work. The Wire Types & Sizes course gives you hands-on training in identifying, preparing, and installing the conductors that feed every outlet, switch, light, and breaker. From Romex in residential wiring jobs to MC cable and THHN in commercial electrical projects, you’ll learn exactly how to handle the materials contractors use every day.
Contractors don’t want helpers wasting time asking which wire to pull, cutting the wrong size, or landing conductors that don’t match breaker ratings. They want electricians who know that #14 goes on 15A, #12 goes on 20A, and #10 feeds a 30A load. This course drills those pairings into you until they’re second nature. That’s how you move from being “the helper who slows things down” to “the electrician who makes jobs go faster.”
This training is designed for anyone serious about making money in electrical work quickly. Whether you’re new to the trade, fresh out of trade school, or working as a helper looking to level up, this course gives you the knowledge and confidence to handle wire without hesitation. You’ll learn the standards, the shortcuts, and the real-world tips electricians use every day.
Wire prep is more than just cutting and stripping. You’ll practice pulling wire through boxes, stripping it clean without damaging conductors, and landing it neatly so trim-out is smooth and professional. These details are exactly what contractors and inspectors notice — and they’re what make you stand out on job sites.
By the end of this course, you’ll know how to identify, size, prepare, and install the right wire for the job. You’ll be ready to handle residential wiring, commercial conduit pulls, and electrical side work like sub-panel feeds or shop wiring. These are the skills that lead directly to more jobs, higher pay, and eventually a six-figure career in the electrical trade.

How This Course
Makes you Money
The fastest way to make money in electrical work is by knowing your wire types and sizes without hesitation. Contractors lose money when helpers waste time guessing, grabbing the wrong roll, or pulling a conductor that doesn’t match the breaker size. This course trains you to identify wire quickly — whether it’s #14, #12, #10, or larger — and to know instantly what breaker and load it goes with. That speed and accuracy make you valuable on any crew.
When you can size wire correctly the first time, you prevent failed inspections and dangerous installs. Inspectors immediately catch undersized conductors or overloaded circuits, and contractors end up paying for rework. By learning how to match wire size, breaker rating, and load demand, you save contractors money — and that’s exactly how you prove your worth and get paid more yourself.
This skill also opens the door to profitable electrical side work. Homeowners constantly need sub-panels fed, garage shops wired, or new appliances like dryers and ranges installed. All of these jobs depend on proper wire sizing. If you know how to choose the right wire, land it safely, and make the install code-compliant, you can take on side jobs with confidence and put extra cash in your pocket.
Contractors want helpers who don’t slow down the crew. If you already know that 12/2 Romex feeds 20A branch circuits, 10/3 cable runs dryers, and THHN in EMT handles higher loads in commercial jobs, you’ll be ready to grab the right wire without needing direction. That independence proves you’re not just another helper — you’re someone they can trust with real work.
By mastering wire types and sizes, you make yourself valuable on both residential wiring jobs and commercial electrical projects. You’ll be faster, more accurate, and more confident — and that combination leads directly to higher pay, more opportunities, and a clear path toward a six-figure electrician career.
What You Will Learn
The Wire Types & Sizes course teaches you how to identify and install the most common conductors used in the trade. You’ll learn how to work with Romex (NM cable) for residential wiring jobs, MC cable for commercial projects, and THHN conductors in EMT conduit for higher-capacity installs. You’ll practice handling each type of wire, learning how to strip, cut, and secure it properly so your work is safe, clean, and inspection-ready.
You’ll master the basics of wire sizing by matching conductors to breaker ratings. This includes wiring 15A branch circuits with #14, 20A circuits with #12, 30A dryer circuits with #10, and heavier loads like ranges or sub-panels with #8, #6, or larger. You’ll practice until this knowledge is automatic, so you never hesitate on a job when a contractor asks you to pull a specific size.
This course also covers color coding and conductor identification. You’ll learn how black, red, white, green, and bare wires are used in branch circuits, how to identify neutral and ground conductors, and how to keep wiring organized. These details prevent mistakes that slow jobs down and cause inspection issues. Clean, labeled, and properly sized wires make you look professional and keep contractors coming back for you.
Another key part of this course is wire preparation. You’ll practice stripping insulation without damaging conductors, cutting wires to the right length, and prepping them for devices, receptacles, switches, and breakers. You’ll also learn how to bend and land wires neatly in boxes and panels so that your installs pass inspection and look like professional work.
By the end of this course, you’ll know how to identify, size, and prepare every common wire type in the trade. You’ll be able to handle residential wiring projects, commercial conduit pulls, and electrical side work like appliance circuits, garage shop feeds, or panel upgrades. These are the skills that make you stand out on job sites and start making real money in electrical work.
How Long Will
This Course Take
The Wire Types & Sizes course is designed as a 4-hour, fast-track electrician training session that is 70% hands-on. Instead of just reading charts or staring at diagrams, you’ll actually be handling Romex, MC cable, and THHN wire in EMT conduit. You’ll cut, strip, size, and prep conductors until it becomes second nature, preparing you to perform at contractor speed on real jobs.
In just half a day, you’ll practice installing #14 on 15A circuits, #12 on 20A circuits, #10 on 30A circuits, and larger conductors for heavier loads like sub-panels or shop equipment. You’ll wire sample runs, land conductors in boxes, and secure them properly. This repetition builds the confidence you need to walk onto a job site and grab the right wire without hesitation.
The training is delivered in a controlled, safe environment, so you’ll be able to make mistakes, learn from them, and correct them before stepping onto real projects. You’ll practice stripping insulation cleanly, cutting wire to the right length, and preparing conductors for receptacles, switches, and breakers. Every step is repeated until you can perform it with speed and accuracy.
The course is fast-paced to match the energy of real electrical jobs. Contractors want helpers who know wire sizing and prep like the back of their hand, and this training makes sure you’re one of them. By drilling each wire type and size repeatedly, you’ll build the muscle memory needed to keep jobs moving instead of slowing them down.
By the end of this 4-hour session, you’ll be confident in your ability to identify, size, and prepare wires for both residential electrical wiring and commercial electrical projects. You’ll leave ready to install conductors, land them on devices and breakers, and prove to contractors that you’re not just learning — you’re ready to make money in electrical work right away.
